Or if it can motivate Panasonic or Others to develop a larger sensor super-zoom bridge camera that can compete with or better the X-S1. Larger ensor size inevitably equates to larger lens and heavier weight but there is some leeway there for enthusiasts. I suspect no one is really sure where the market is at this point. And let us not forget that Panasonic may have some "improved" sensor technology available in the near future.
